Inter-domain routing in an n-ary-tree and source-routing based communication framework

TLDR
In this article, the authors describe a protocol for processing and forwarding of packets in an Autonomous System (AS) by using a set of bits that encodes a route in an n-ary tree.
Abstract
Systems and techniques for processing and forwarding packets are described. Specifically, some embodiments can include a receiving mechanism, a determining mechanism, a generating mechanism, and a sending mechanism. The receiving mechanism can be configured to receive a first packet that is to be routed from a first node in a first Autonomous System (AS) to a second node in a second AS. The determining mechanism can be configured to determine a set of bits that encodes a route in an n-ary tree that includes the first node and a root node in the first AS. The generating mechanism can be configured to generate, based on the first packet, a second packet that includes the set of bits and an identifier associated with the second AS. The sending mechanism can be configured to send the second packet.

Segment routing extension headers

TL;DR: In this article, a system and method for using segment routing (SR) in native IP networks is described. But this method requires a packet to be an IP packet and includes an IP header, which can be updated by writing information including a segment routing segment identifier to the destination address of the packet.

Bit indexed explicit replication

TL;DR: In this paper, a neighbor node is selected based on comparing the multicast forwarding entry with forwarding information stored by the node, and forwarding the packet to the neighbor node based on the comparing.
